The shield-maiden was a female warrior from Scandinavian folklore and mythology. Examples of legend include Brynhildr of the Vǫlsunga saga and the Viking ruler Lagertha, wife of Ragnar Lodbrok. This model is a stunning interpretation of the archetype, which could have come strait out the History channel's 'Vikings' historical drama. It features fine detail in the cloth, leather, and wood with varying tones of complementing rich browns and silver. The cyan facial tattoo stripes are a particularly nice touch. The design, texturing, and placement of clothing and armor pieces is well imagined and implemented. The object (.obj) file is well organized with axe, shield, and sword vertices grouped together at the end of the file. This allows easy customization in the event a game developer would want to leave any of these items out in the case of weapon upgrades. Good female sword and sorcery character models are hard to fine, as most are too sexualized to be believed as serious fighters or spell casters. This one is exceptional in that regard as a character to be taken seriously in any fantasy setting. A suitable companion to this model is the 'Viking Berserker', found here https://www.cgtrader.com/3d-models/character/fantasy-character/viking-berserker-9c915ae6-051d-4e50-a882-0d67f9886863. In all a fine addition to any fantasy game character lineup and a great example of the vast range of character, creature. and object models from R3g3nerator.
